Chapter Fifty-One Secrets of the Palace Peeping into the Truth
"Queen Xiao actually comes from a family of medicine..." Xue Xichen's eyes rolled. She thought this thing was extremely strange. "What's Queen Xiao's name?"
It was not Feng Qingge who answered her, but Mu Qingfei. "Empress Xiao's original name was Xiao Yuzhen. She was the daughter of an ordinary family in the south of the Yangtze River. When the late emperor traveled to the south of the Yangtze River, he occasionally caught a cold during the journey and went to the hospital for treatment. Occasionally, Xiao Yuzhen fell in love with her at first sight. .Bring her back to the palace. She was favored more and more. Three months later, she was named a noble concubine. The following year, the sixth prince Feng Biqing was born. After Empress Ma passed away, the former emperor appointed Concubine Xiao as the new empress to take charge of the harem."
"Xiao, Yu, Zhen." He murmured the name. Xue Xichen felt an unprecedented sense of familiarity. "Xiao Yuzhen... I seem to have heard this name somewhere..."
Feng Qingge said: "There are so many people with the same name and surname in the world. It is not surprising to hear them."
Xue Xichen thought it was right and stopped worrying about this issue.[
Feng Qingge raised her eyes with confusion and said to Mu Qingfei: "Qingfei, why did you suddenly bring up the old affairs of the previous dynasty and the palace secrets? Who asked you to investigate these."
Mu Qingfei glanced at Xue Xichen but did not answer. Xue Xichen said calmly: "I was curious. I asked Mu Xiang to help me check it out."
"Curious." Feng Qingge looked at Xue Xichen strangely. He hugged her slender waist tightly and asked doubtfully, "Tongtong, why are you suddenly interested in old things from the past."
"It's a woman's nature to gossip." Xue Xichen said with a smile and a smile. "I'm just curious. I want to know what kind of woman Feng Biqing's biological mother is. That's why I asked Mu Xiang to help me investigate."
"Are you just curious?"
Feng Qingge didn't believe what Xue Xichen said. Xue Xichen was a thankless guy. He didn't believe that Xue Xichen would investigate Feng Biqing's background for some reason.
Feng Qingge coaxed Xue Xichen with her warm voice. "Tongtong, tell me. Maybe I can help you answer the questions that Qingfa has not answered for you."
Xue Xichen's eyes rolled, thinking about the authenticity of Feng Qingge's words. "In addition to innate factors, a person's character also has a great influence on the environment. Feng Bi has such deep sincerity and desire for power. So big. I'm very curious about what kind of environment he lives in and what makes him such a duplicitous character."
"To be honest, I couldn't believe it at first..." Feng Qingge sighed deeply. "The Feng Biqing I know is gentle and polite. She likes literature and hates martial arts. She pursues a peaceful and restrained life. I have never thought about it. All of this was actually a show he put on in front of others."
"If Feng Biqing's character was not inherited from his father, then it is very likely that it was inherited from his mother and concubine. Or it could be said that he was most influenced by his mother and concubine..."
"So. You want to know about Queen Xiao."
"Yes."
"In my impression, Empress Xiao is extravagant, gentle and kind to others. In my memory, she is the best person to me in the palace besides my mother and Concubine Rong. I have always felt that Feng Biqing inherited Xiao The queen's character is gentle, polite, modest and prudent..."
"Now. You know you were wrong."
"Yes. I can't imagine that Feng Biqing would be so inconsistent..."
"So." Xue Xichen asked, "Can we doubt that Queen Xiao is also a person with different appearances?"
Feng Qingge remained silent and replied: "I can't answer your question. Empress Xiao has passed away many years ago. My impression of her only remains as a good memory from back then..."
"Yes. I know," Xue Xichen said. "That's why I hope that by searching through the palace secrets, I can find out all the ulterior secrets hidden behind them."
"The result disappointed you."[
"It's not completely disappointing," Xue Xichen said. "At least, I know that Queen Xiao comes from a medical family and is good at medicine and poison..."
Feng Qingge was puzzled. "Is this issue important?"
/
"It all depends on Feng Biqing and Xiao Liuyue." Xue Xichen did not answer Feng Qingge's question directly. She murmured to herself, "Xiao Yuzhen... this name is really familiar... What on earth do I know? Where have I heard of it...that's weird. Why can't I remember it..."
Feng Qingge touched Xue Xichen's hair and said softly: "Tongtong, don't think about things you can't figure out. One day, we will figure it out."
"Yeah." I couldn't figure it out for the moment, so I gave up and stopped thinking about it. Xue Xichen nodded and said to Mu Qingfei, "Thank you, Mu Xiang, for letting me know. Thank you for your hard work, Mu Xiang."
Mu Qingfei smiled. "It's just a little effort. There's no need to be polite, Madam."
Xue Xichen turned to Feng Qingge and said, "Qingge, you have been accompanying me these past few days. I must have accumulated a lot of memorials and dealt with them. You and Mu Xiang go and do your work. I will read a book by myself."
"Okay. Pay attention to rest."
Feng Qingge leaned forward and kissed Xue Xichen's cheek. She gave some careful instructions before leaving with Mu Qingfei.
After the two left, Xue Xichen sat in front of the desk, supporting her chin with one hand, leaning over the desk and thinking intently. She repeatedly thought about the relationship between Xiao Yuzhen, Xiao Liuyue and Feng Biqing.
Her intuition told her that there must be some kind of connection between these three people that they could not see.
However, she couldn't figure out what this connection was for the moment.
Why did Xiao Liuyue help Feng Biqing conditionally?
This was a question she had never been able to figure out.
If everything was planned by Xiao Liuyue and Feng Biqing in advance. From the beginning, Feng Biqing planned to use her to deal with Feng Qingge. Then, what kind of role did Xiao Liuyue play in this process? What about the role?
…
It was late at night. Xue Xichen was reading quietly in the room with a book. Suddenly, he felt the candlelight shaking. His sensitive sixth sense gave off a strong alarm. Xue Xichen stood up suddenly. Before he could get close, the arrow in his sleeve was already pointing at the man's throat. The man was startled. He immediately pulled off his scarf and surprisingly it was Wang Zier.
"Zi'er." Xue Xichen blinked and retracted his sleeve arrows. "I broke in late at night. What's the important matter? Can't we have a normal rest?"
Wang Zi'er's eyes flickered, hinting excitement. "I found the trace of Grandma Rong."
Xue Xichen's eyes suddenly lit up. She held Wang Zier's hand and asked happily: "Where is it."
"Following your instructions, I have been monitoring Moyu Prince's Mansion these days. Tonight, as usual, I lurked on the big banyan tree at the entrance of the Prince's Mansion to spy secretly. At Shen Shi, I saw a sneaky figure sneaking out from the back door of the Prince's Mansion. His body was strange. Quickly. My martial arts skills are extremely high. I secretly followed him to a restaurant and used the light to take a closer look at the person's face. I was shocked to find that it was Grandma Rong."
"As expected, Aunt Rong is at Prince Moyu's Mansion."[
After learning about the whereabouts of Aunt Rong, this suspicion was to guide them to a clear path when they were at the end of their rope. Xue Xichen asked: "Is Aunt Rong still in the restaurant now?"
Wang Zier shook her head. "I don't know. As soon as I find out about Aunt Rong, I will inform you immediately. I don't know how long Aunt Rong will stay in the restaurant. I don't dare to get too close. After all, our martial arts are all due to Aunt Rong." I taught her personally. Her martial arts are extremely high. I’m afraid of being discovered by her. Tongtong, what should we do now.”
"I will leave the palace with you. Let's go together to see if Aunt Rong is still in the restaurant. If she is, we will try to catch her. If she is not, we will discuss countermeasures."
